NATIONAL MICROCHIP MONTH!
June is National Microchip Month, which helps to raise awareness of the importance of microchipping your pets - as well as keeping details up to date. Should the worst happen, having your pet microchipped with up to date details ensures that we can help to reunite you.
Since 2016 it has been law that all dogs must be microchipped. As of 10th June 2024, it was also made law for cats to be microchipped.
‼️ If your pet is found to not be microchipped, you will have 21 days to take them to have one implanted otherwise you will be faced with a fine up to £500.
‼️ As mentioned, it is also your responsibility as a pet owner to ensure that microchip details are kept up to date on a microchip database.
‼️ Microchipping is a safe, effective and permanent way to ensure the safety of your pet, and it is important as it helps to reunite more families with their pets that go missing.
